Er…maybe I should clarify. Tom Betthauser (www.TomBetthauser.com) draws tiny pictures on a large scale. Take this drawing, for example:

This drawing (Untitled Land) is 4 feet by 5 feet. All graphite on paper.

What’s just as interesting to me is how Tom works: straight from his imagination, exploring marks on the page. He doesn’t even start with a sketch or a rough idea of what he’s about to start on, but just starts drawing.”I like the idea of creating a world from the ground up. I start very abstractly, with large areas of dark and light, and then try to pull a blank landscape out of that. Once that’s built I’m free to explore and add elements of content as necessary.”
